School plays, newspaper staff, and AP Biology rate pretty high. I got my start as a cartoonist while on newspaper staff. That's been a pretty great skillset to develop.

Celebrated not being in high school.
I worked at Lagoon, went to Weber State until I realized that it was not getting me where I wanted to go.
I served a mission in Washington DC South, Spanish Speaking and a year or so after coming home finally went off to an animation program in Canada.
My life pretty much started when I went to art school.

I have lived in a lot of cool places, done a lot of cool things, and met a ton of cool people.

Everyone is interesting if you know how to talk to them.

Flew around the world once.

I draw for work, for additional income...and to relax I draw. It's a problem.

Say "YES" to things.
The outrage mob is *always* wrong.
Forget politics. Concentrate on your principles.
Life is too short to not have a Maine Coon.
If you don't ask, the answer is no.
Go for a walk in the morning.
Tell people you love them.
Get the good chocolate.
Learn how to take cold showers.
Drawing is a skill...not something special people were smacked over the head with by the talent fairy.
This too shall pass.
There are very few things you can not learn how to do by watching YouTube.
